         (d)      In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), unless the Indemnified Party waives indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim so settled and adjudicated.
